I’ve often said that a person can be a leader and possess bad character…just not for very long. Over time, the neglect of one’s inner life will show itself in one form or another on the outside.

Effective leadership involves understanding and managing the impact or wake you leave behind you (RT @juliedporter01: What’s Your Leadership Wake?
We have all seen this: people who rise to positions of leadership because they have good skills – but in spite of their lack of regard for and/or skills with people. (Think how much more effective they could be and far they could go if they got this!) Often, this aspect of their wake eventually comes back to capsize them or at least stall them, but, unfortunately, not before they have capsized several others.

Great points of leadership. I might add, "Serving others according to their needs and gifts, with an eye to push them in their strengths to excel".

AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
Excellent resource. All seven are good, here are the first 3:
1. Recognize when employees are making progress. Pause and highlight milestones that people hit or challenges they have overcome. Ensure that people feel their contributions are rewarded by simply saying "thank you."
2. Make employees feel like they belong. To be happy at work, it’s important to feel like “you have a friend.” This gets challenging especially when the company gets busy. People need to feel like they know each other and so time like this yields positive results.
3. Take an interest in who employees actually are. One of the key questions that always gets asked in employee surveys is "Do you feel like your boss cares about you and is trying to give you the tools to succeed?” This will lead to employees that are much more engaged at work.

Sphere of influence refers to the conceptual system or people over which an individual has an influence. This article has very nicely applied this concept for building sustainableand high performing teams. According to this, groups in the office and unit/office forms a safety zone for the team members. As their ability to overcome fear and take more risks increase, their sphere of influence will widen to influence division, organization and outside environment. Based on strengths and job responsibilities, some staff members will be consistently expanding the team’s sphere of influence by working outside the safety zone while others will spend most of their time and efforts inside the safety zone. Key qualities identified that assist in increasing the sphere of influence are:
